A Granada Hills car-key job runs:
- You tell us the year, make, and model, and whether any working key remains.
- On arrival we verify ownership with ID and registration, then cut and program the key.
- If your make is dealer-only, we tell you before you book so you are not paying for a wasted trip.
When people call us for this in Granada Hills
- A used car came with only one key.
- A key or fob broke and no longer works.
- You want a spare before the only key goes missing.

Where we are straight with you
This is where honesty matters: we do not make keys for every vehicle. Some newer, luxury, and European models require dealer-only equipment or a tow to the dealer, and certain all-keys-lost jobs are beyond mobile programming. We check your year, make, and model before booking and tell you plainly when the dealer is your only route. Around Granada Hills, we would rather tell you this up front than surprise you on site.
How we keep it straight
If you are in Granada Hills and stuck, call and we will talk through your options before anyone commits to anything.
Before we open a door, start a car or make a key, we confirm you have the right to be there — photo ID plus proof of residence, ownership, or authorization. It protects you as much as it protects us.
Rather than guess at a price online, we look at the lock or vehicle, explain your options, and give you the total up front. You approve it in writing before we start.
Ask us how long and you will get a real answer shaped by where we are and the traffic, not a figure picked to sound good.

Questions people ask
How long does making a car key take?
Many on-site jobs are done in one visit, but it varies by make and whether any key remains. We give you a realistic read when you tell us the vehicle.
Which cars are dealer-only?
Certain newer, luxury, and European models, and some all-keys-lost situations, need dealer equipment. We are upfront about this per vehicle rather than discovering it on arrival.
